To power the SunnySky X2204S 2300kv Motors you need an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller). For this, I've selected the next generation speed controller from Quadrysteria. They state the manufacturer of this ESC is the same as the one that made the popular BlueSeries and features newer, higher-quality MOSFETs that run cooler and offer higher peak current -- apparently these ESC are so fast that you can double your PI gains.

Now that the FPV mini quadcopter frame has been selected we need some motors to make it fly. For that, I've selected 4 SunnySky X2204S 2300kv motors ($23ea). It was between these or the Tiger's MN1806 2300kv, but paying $43 each for the Tigers would take this copter out of budget (which is going overboard already) -- plus, I like the look of the SunnySky's.
